Sean Penn wants your one-day old baby for his movie being shot in Cape Town

A casting call was recently put out for a one-day old baby for Sean Penn's new film.

Sean Penn is currently shooting a new movie, The Last Face, in South Africa and he’s looking for someone very specific to fill the role.

The Guardian reported that a casting call was put out for “pregnant black woman who is about to give birth.” The advert clarified that the crew only needs the baby, but “the mother is allowed on set”. Pay will be R1500 a day.

California prohibits new-born babies as being used for filming. Babies have to be at least 15 days old before they can be used for shoots and are only allowed to work for 15 minutes a day. South Africa has no such laws.

Would this mean that South Africa has the record for the youngest ever actor?
